Vevlira: The hurdy-gurdy originates from medieval Europe, around the 13th century. You can find it on medieval church paintings from Scandinavia to the south of Europe. Through a crank you turn the wheel to which strings are connected, with this wheel and a keyboard, you can produce both melody, drones and rhythms at the same time. Because of this, the instrument is often called "the medieval synthesizer". The hurdy-gurdy has had a strong revival in recent years as it offers many different sounds and tones which are totally unique to this instrument.
